I have a couple of BY-1 paddles that are just fine. I also have several of
the older Heathkit Paddle/Keyers that do a pretty fair job. My personal
favorites are the Vibroplex bugs. Don't know why, but I tend to reach for
one of them more often than not. I don't understand all this having to glue
or stick these units to a desk. Adjusted and used correctly, they should
never move.
The above, along with a buck, might get you a cup of coffee in some areas of
the country.
Cheers!
